I thinkm it oughta be local local just to encourage our local songwriters and original artists.

A while back one of the acoustic duo's covered "a different kind of blues", I couldn't have been more proud or flattered, I think EVERY local artist deserves to feel that.

Actually, I don't mind BEG I play it acoustically it's not so bad, I can vary the tempo and feel of it and I have the Origial lyrics not the ones VM "cleaned up" when he became a Christian.
